What the job involves
- We are hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to join our Foundations Engineering team at GlossGenius
- In this role, you'll play a critical role in shaping the security of our entire product portfolio
- This is a high-visibility position where you'll act as a frontline security voice for our engineering and product teams
- You’ll work closely with engineers and product managers to ensure security is a core part of how we build, from the very first design discussions
- Design Review: You'll act as the initial security point of contact for engineering and product teams. You will conduct security-focused architectural reviews and threat modeling to identify and address vulnerabilities, working directly with development teams to find and fix issues
- Policy & Process Adjustments: You will contribute to the development of our security policies and standards. This includes creating secure coding guidelines, building automated tools to prevent common security issues, and collaborating with development teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines
- Vulnerability Management: Own our end-to-end vulnerability management program. This includes deploying scanning tools across our engineering organization, triaging security vulnerabilities, and supporting the ongoing development of the program's tools and processes to prevent common security issues
- Vendor Evaluation: Help improve our security program by evaluating new security vendors. This includes running evaluations, coordinating demos, piloting tools internally, and making recommendations on which solutions best fit our needs
Our take
Business management platforms exist for a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, and healthcare. However, despite a modern facade the beauty industry lacks specialized software and still runs on generic CRMs and basic spreadsheets. Recognizing a gap in the market, GlossGenius has stepped in to provided a specialized business management platform for beauty salons, spas and studios.
With little competition in this niche, GlossGenius has swiftly captured a large market share, with triple-digit year on year revenue growth. It serves over 1000,000 businesses and has raised more than $70M.
With this funding, the company is aiming to accelerate platform development off the back of the release of consumer experience, payment and automation products. And it is well on the way to fulfilling its long-term aim of developing into the Toast of the beauty industry.
